About us

asbestos.vic.gov.au

This website is a collaborative project involving EPA Victoria (Environment Protection Authority),the Victorian Department of Health, and VWA. Collectively, we have responsibility for the regulation and protection of Victorians from exposure to asbestos at home, at work and in the environment.

EPA’s sole role is to regulate pollution and it has independent authority to make regulatory decisions under the Environment Protection Act 1970. EPA aspires to create a healthy environment that supports a liveable and prosperous Victoria. By effectively regulating pollution in Victoria, EPA strives to deliver clean air, healthy waterways, safe land and minimal disturbances from noise and odour for Victorians.

Department of Health (DoH)

The Department of Health is committed to achieving the best health and wellbeing for all Victorians. One of eleven state government departments in Victoria, DoH covers the responsibilities of the Ministers for Health, the Minister for Ageing and the Minister for Mental Health.
